You don't "cease" to exist from any sort of brain damage. Do you disappear from a night of drinking? Nerve cells die naturally--do you cease to exist when you get old?
But there is a risk. I view the paralyzed as test subjects--if this really does work, I would jump at the chance (as a non-paralyzed person) to do it.
I heard it still needs some better integration among its parts. Some rate it neck and neck with CuBase. Been contemplating it, but not if a new logic is coming.
Can't we just get a poll going?

Religion? Theist/Atheist/Deist/Agnostic. The problem is moderators who cut down any sort of attack on religion, while clearly most of us have a (libertarian) atheist viewpoint.
But, when you draw that cup from the water, someone else can draw that same cup independently. I've thought about ideas as islands in the sea. If you find one, make a map, and bury that map on the island--would you accuse someone who comes by of copying your map?
Lojban would be ideal for interactive fiction--it's parsable like any computer language. Homonyms are just a silly artifact prevalent in English that obscures the interesting subject of computer linguistics.
So you do mean finding out how consciousness is manifested in the thalamus, transfering that over to silicon, and building a versatile computer around that?
Have they used the DMCA? Apple of course took a huge blow with playfair. Of course, all patents are evil, but has google taken any particularly bad ones?
Being text based without blinking and popping up is of course a huge plus.
I've been curious if there has been a hyperelegant neural network solution that can do everything from recognize handwriting to faces. Completely different applications would only require retraining. So you wouldn't hear about specific applications like this, but one breakthrough that can simply, elegantly be applied anytime recognition must be performed.
Are there any real (not patent or such) related reasons this doesn't exist?
Shouldn't be too hard, right? Just whip up a quick script to read the songs and their weights, then play them without a GUI. Then you can do all sorts of fun stuff like weight according to the day, whatever.
While most of us are already libertarians, it is an unkown to the mainstream. On this tax day, remember the libertarian party. They were instrumental in repealing a massive tax hike here in Oregon.
Hmm, that's scary. Just plug it into the RIAA database of copylocked information. If they can prove that they discovered it first in this society from the timeless plane of information--they may have you.
Whether you kill people by machine gun or by drug patents--do you need much training? Is it that hard to make the world a worse place for everyone? Every patent issued is a step backwards.
There's some others--plus the moderation is getting less corporate-conservative. I do like your essays--but the ultraviolent or sexual analogies might be a turnoff for some. Well, just a thought. But I am against both copyrights and patents--so I'm with ya!
We really have to think of alternate economic systems the more stories like this come up. An automated car doesn't really displace jobs--but this really could.
There's a lot of distraction on this--we'll be beyond sex (yes, p0rn) and silly things like "intellectual property" when we really start working on these interfaces. But then we'll see that if we don't have some control over the outputs and inputs into our consciousness--that is what is handicapped.
We'll use those who have reduced control over the body now--but think of it more as using guinea pigs for the eventual benefit of everyone.
"One day," Glanville told Week in Review, "Schill was playing his character, Cylc" -- whom Glanville described as "a dwarven Cleric," whatever that is -- "and he asked me to team up with him in Faydwer, in the zone of the Butcherblock Mountains, to kill Aviaks, which are basically walking birds."
Hang with us here, friends. There will be a baseball point coming.
Remember to return the favor. We should be putting our brains in jars, not celebrating our limitations in some meatspace "sport".

That would seem to be a good way to sell it--don't they have less silly vocal homonyms than English? Right! Not left? No, right!

I'd imagine that would raise a bigger stink as the console copylockers are much more organized.
Audio CDs. I've never straight up ripped while I'm there, though. Anyone daring enough to do so?
If you don't like the idea, at least donate to the library if you can. Yes, pessemists, audio CDs can be rented at the library.

Always been curious about these pseudorandom number generators. My guess is a LCG initialized by current time. Thermal noise would be more elegant.

Hey Argoff--looking for you to weigh in here.

Ok, good one. Of course I was meaning more virtual reality, not cryogenic life extension.
So our compasses would be screwy. Couldn't we use GPS to give direction?
I still remember your eloquent criticism of both patents and copyrights.
Artificial Scarcity laws are evil.
So a symmetric key requires a random number--how is it generated? If it's just thermal noise at the sender, it shouldn't be detected, right?
